Show Notes
Connecticut lawmakers have advanced four nominees to join the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority board, aiming to address the states high electricity costs. The group includes interim chair Thomas Wiehl, former state representative Holly Cheeseman, energy professor Janice Beecher, and investor Everett Smith. They have been serving in interim roles since last October and were praised for their diverse backgrounds in energy policy, consumer advocacy, and utilities. The nominees emphasized collaboration with lawmakers, utilities, and consumer groups to tackle affordability and infrastructure issues, promising to scrutinize utility requests for customer funds while ensuring reliable service. The board has faced criticism from both utilities and customers amid past tensions, with recent decisions suggesting a softer stance toward companies.
